Put on your gloves... it's time to rumble! We are happy to present to you the first official photos of the Kindle 2. Yes, we are now pretty much absolutely sure that this is what Amazon is going to present to the world next Monday.

And here is another news for you: The Kindle 2 costs you $359 USD and is going to be available for sale on February 24th, 2009 (edit: unconfirmed, that is).

Interesting. I wish they had an image of the case and how it attaches.

There are not signs of a fixation system on the back ; and a side-attached cover like the Sony does not seem likely seeing as the edge are even thinner.

If the screen is still a 6", seeing how thin and comparatively large it is, I guess they will only ship it with a sleeve case.

thinner yes, Larger! yes... UGH thats my gripe with the kindle. and it seems its dimensions are larger now.

Either that, or the pencil in the third picture is a giant pencil. My PRS-505 is also of the same height than a regular pencil, but the screen is comparatively bigger. I guess that's the screen is still 6" with a bigger unit size and some giant pencil from Amazon marketing dpt
